I recently turned 33, and every year I want to go back to 21-year-old Patrick with a list of lessons.
If you're in your 20s, these are for you.
Most lessons only land after an ass-whooping. And even then, you usually miss them the first time.
"Coded" by Claude on Feb 1st.
"Audited" by Claude on Feb 2nd.
"Fixed" by Claude on Feb 3rd.
Deployed to mainnet (by Claude?) on March 19th.
Funded on April 24th.
Rekt (by Claude?) on April 28th.
Welcome to the future. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Another hack @AftermathFi. It’s been raining.
$1.4m gone
I think I have to finally say.
We white hats are not in a ready position to fight against blackhats on chain.
We are so bounded and limited to contests and bug bounties that our scope is dependent on these.
Maybe when we see beyond ourselves, we’d be a ready match for blackhats.
Those mfers are active on blocks, we are there fighting for a report to be escalated in our favor.
This is becoming sad.
WE CANNOT WIN, OUR TRAINING MODEL IS FLAWED.
Ethereum needs more security engineers.
Attackers are scaling faster than defenders, and the pipeline of qualified researchers is too small.
Guild Academy is building that pipeline — 5 cohorts in.
We're in @thedaofund 500 ETH Ethereum Security round on @Giveth, and it uses Quadratic Funding.
That means $1 from 100 donors > $100 from 1 donor. Your small donation unlocks much more from the matching pool.
If our work matters to you, even $1 helps.👇
